"Porcelain" is a song by American electronica musician Moby, featured as the third track and released as the sixth single from his album Play. It was released on June 12, 2000 in the UK, and reached number 5 in the UK charts, Moby's highest chart position there to date. The U.S. release was released two months later, on August 22, although the song was first featured in the 1998 film Playing by Heart. It also appeared on the soundtrack to the 2000 film The Beach.
Porcelain contains pulsating electronically enhanced string samples, piano rhythms, and wandering vocal solos. The beginning is a reverse sound of sampled strings, taken from "Fight for Survival" by Ernest Gold. This is uncredited in the album liner notes. Moby performs vocals, with additional vocals by Pilar Basso.
There are three different music videos for this song.
The Jonas Åkerlund-directed version features a close-up of a person's eye and images within it resembling a reflection. This reflection is mostly of Moby singing the song but also includes a variety of people, both adults and children smiling, a baby, and a close-up of a hand playing some of the piano parts of the song.
